jQuery only takes two parameters on $(). (the second one is optional) $(expression, context)
http://docs.jquery.com/Core/jQuery#expressioncontext so your first attempt had 3 parameters. The last one was ignored. The second one became the context so jQuery was looking for a tag <item> in the string "Data" which of course it couldn't find. Maybe what you wanted was $("item,Data", xml) which will return a last of item and Data in one jQuery object. It's a matter of placing the quotes in the right place. One last comment, jQuery can look through XML but can't parse it so: $("<data><item>text</item></data>") won't work in IE and is buggy in FF. The xml created by an ajax request should work fine though.
